When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.
Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.
We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.
Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.
The Perfect Jet Collet, also known as PJC, is the perfect solution for achieving optimum end milling operations. Utilizing a peripheral coolant supply minimizes the loss of coolant caused by centrifugal forces during spindle rotation.
Perfect Seal Collets (PSC) allow for coolant through the cutting tool. They can be used with MEGA Double Power Chucks, Hydraulic Chucks, and New Hi-Power Milling Chucks.
